Stage 1: Conciliation

Don't worry too much about this step. A conciliation is an informal meeting at which your lawyer, the insurance company's lawyer and a conciliator from the DIA try to reach an agreement about your claim. In most cases, you say nothing during the conciliation. In our experience, very few cases are resolved at this stage.
